The timing of the initial India–Asia collision and the mechanisms that led to the eventual
formation of the high (> 5 km) Tibetan Plateau remain enigmatic. In this Review, we describe …

Reorganization of the Asian climate from one dominated by global planetary wind systems
to a regional monsoon climate is closely related to the surface uplift of the Tibetan Plateau …

The uplift of eastern Tibet, Asian monsoon development and the evolution of globally
significant Asian biodiversity are all linked, but in obscure ways. Sedimentology …

Abstract 2D materials possess superior optoelectronic properties, such as ultrahigh mobility
and broadband photoresponse, making them one of the most vital platforms for diversified …

The Asian monsoons are triggered by complex interactions between the atmosphere, Asian
and African orography, and the surrounding oceans, resulting in highly seasonal climate …

Spinescence is an important functional trait possessed by many plant species for physical
defence against mammalian herbivores. The development of spinescence must have been …

In parallel with pronounced cooling in the oceans, vast areas of the continents experienced
enhanced aridification and restructuring of vegetation and animal communities during the …

Paleoelevation reconstructions of the Himalayan mountains and Tibetan Plateau have been
a focus of geoscientists, as they can improve our understanding of the temporal evolution of …

Southeastern (SE) Tibet forms the transition zone between the high interior Tibetan Plateau
and the lowlands of southwest China. So understanding the elevation history of SE Tibet, a …

The paleoelevation history and geodynamic evolution of the Bangong suture zone in the
central Tibetan Plateau are hotly debated, with existing estimates showing contrasting …
